The Hunger Games: Another story by Tom Brady
Tom Brady's arrival at Tampa Bay looked like a curiosity that would bring them to the playoffs and nothing more, but at 43.5 the huge appetite pushed the greatest football player ever to the Super Bowl.
Everything is ready for a battle of giants with Humus, who may be decided in one position where Kansas City has a clear advantage, and it is not the quarterback

Laughs at every prediction.

Big quarterbacks, huge icons, ones who have dedicated themselves to one team all their lives, sometimes end their careers in other teams.
Joe Nimeth was thrown out of the New York Jets and closed the story with four games last season at the Los Angeles Rams.
San Francisco let Joe Montana realize he was unwanted, and he led Kansas City to a very reasonable two years.
And of course, Brett Farb, Green Bay's big number 4, went out to graze in foreign fields and almost led the hated rival from Minnesota to the Super Bowl.
They are all revered and great quarterbacks, none of whom are Tom Brady.
Under similar circumstances Brady left New England - both sides felt disgusted and felt it was time to move on.
His arrival at Tampa Bay, at 43 and in a particularly challenging season, seemed like a kind of curiosity.
What about this team, which has not been in the playoffs for 13 years, and the pretensions to the title?
Brady did not want to be Montana or Farb - he wanted to be more than that, and as throughout his career he also succeeded.
At 43 and almost half, Tom Brady is back in the Super Bowl, this time with Tampa Bay.
This is a team whose first and last Super Bowl took part (and won) was held in the 2002 season, symbolically the only full season of his career in which he was absent from the playoffs.
Who would have believed, after that sluggish game against Tennessee in the playoffs last season and after the fuel that ran out too early in the opening game of the current season in New Orleans, that he is still capable.
But it's Brady.
Almost anything can be said about him.
He is not human.
Luck goes with the good ones, sages said, and there is no luckier than getting caught up in three consecutive drives and getting out of it all with just 6 mandatory points at Lambo Field.
There's no more luck than seeing Aaron Rogers throw instead of running to Anderson and Matt Laflor decides to kick instead of going for a touchdown (what?).
There's no luckier than getting Jason Pierre Paul, the same JPP who along with the New York Giants made Brady miserable in Super Bowl 46, with the record capacity of yesteryear.
There is no luckier than reaching for the first time in history with a Super Bowl team at home.
But the truth is that there is simply no luckier than being Tom Brady, the man who is a factory of victories, who is not afraid to throw even during which he has to shave seconds off the clock or go for the humor six seconds to go, in a situation where any other quarterback would probably fail to throw the ball to Anderson.
This is Brady - one who does not use luck but creates it.
Almost every year it is said and every year it is true - if anyone has ever doubted that he is the best ever, today it is already an indisputable fact.
The state of Wisconsin is still rubbing its eyes.
Packers fans have just come out of a horror movie.
They are recreating the game that did not go as they expected it to, and yet - somehow overtime seemed like a possible scenario.
But then Rogers decided to give in instead of running and Flor came up with a decision that will be talked about a lot more - to kick to a field goal 8 points behind with only two minutes left on the clock.
There's something you do not do in front of Brady, and that is to give him the ball near to the last drive, all the more so when you are behind with so little time on the clock.
The question, the answer to which we can only guess, is what would have happened if Brady had worn the Green Bay green instead of Rogers.
Would he have "allowed" Florel to make such a decision.
Yes, say, there's a coach and he sets and a quarterback, no matter how big, has to listen to him, but that was the situation where Rogers had to do to Flor the "Hello, anyone home?"
Of Beef from "Back to the Future," or, if you will, of LeBron to David Blatt.
You just can not throw the Super Bowl in the trash with a decision that does not come at any barrel of logic even to the end scouts.
Rogers, easily out of the top 10 who played the game (some would even say top 5) has one win in one Super Bowl appearance.
Brady has six Lombardy trophies in nine attempts at the big dance.
One of the explanations, small but important, for this we saw in the last two minutes yesterday at Lambo Field.
Predatory and erupting force.

Sometimes it seems like Kansas City is trying to challenge itself.
In all three playoff games last year, she fell double-digit, including in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl.
Patrick Humes and the Chips are like Menashe Noy trying in the chamber quintet to Smaller de Humiliation, just the opposite - they give the pur, not trying to get it.
In the first quarter, Mykol Hardman failed to catch the ball after Buffalo's dismissal kick, the Bills took control and cashed the check quickly with a touchdown that raised them to 0-9.
The next drive was led by Mehomes for 14 moves that stretched over 80 yards and ended in the capture of the same Hardman in Anderson.
This was the point where the game ended.
Everything seems too easy for the Chips and too destructive for the Bills, a completely different pace that Josh Allen and his defense have not faced this season, a paid storm that ended in a 21: 9 lag in Palo.
Game Uber.
Now Homes and the Chips are back for a meeting with Brady, the man who inflicted their last playoff loss on them, in 2019.
So, after a huge game, Rex Barkhead ran in overtime into the Anderson to give the Patriots a 31:37 victory and a ticket to the Super Bowl.
Then the two quarterbacks also had a glorious tight end - Rob Gronkowski and Travis Kelsey.
There is a good chance that the next meeting will also be decided on this battle, mainly because this time the gap in position is huge.
Gronkowski is today a player of missions.
His only catch at Green Bay led to a 29-yard move and a very important field goal by Ryan Scap (who started his career at Chips).
Classic is the most important destination of Humus.
Although the great Tyrrick Hill finished with the highest number of yards in catch, 172, Kelsey was, again, the cluster bomb of the Chips.
He picked up 13 balls, 10 of them in the first half, and was primarily responsible for such a quick comeback from the early lag.
Tampa Bay's defense, which was excellent at putting pressure on Rogers, will have to sweat hard to prevent him from getting the ball.
If Kelsey and Humos manage to break free early and dictate the narrative as they did on Sunday, the Bakniers are expected to have a very long and tough day.
In the end, we got a real classic in this Super Bowl. Brady vs. Homes, the greatest ever vs. the greatest in the present. The last time a team won the Super Bowl twice in a row was in 2005, so did Brady and the Patriots. On the other hand, a team has never lifted the Lombardy Cup at home and more with a 43.5-year-old quarterback. History will surely be here. Apparently not a bad game at all either.
